Do the backgrounds not zoom and fill 100% in IE8 ? I went to check my site on an IE8 machine and the backgrounds don’t fill the page. I thought I buggered up some code somewhere but I checked your demo and it does the same. Any suggestions?

IE8 doesn’t support CSS3 , so for that particular browser, the background “downgrades” and displays the image in its normal format. This is typical for browsers that don’t support current web standards. The good news is that IE9 does support CSS3 and they’re acquiring a lot of IE8 ’s user base.

Would it be possible for the images to ‘slide in’ from the left and right instead of just appearing? I want to make it look like the images are scrolling across the screen and off when clicking left or right.

A continuos stream of images, im designing each images i’ll be using on this theme to look like its a street so you see the street continue from one image to the other.

Hopefully you understand what im on about, I can try give an example online if you don’t.

On the portfolio, when I move my mouse down over the thumbnails at the bottom, the thumbnails jump ahead a few images. So let’s say I put my mouse over the third thumbnail, then all of a sudden the thumbnails scroll and my mouse is over the 10th thumbnail. Then I have to scroll back and find the third thumbnail to click on it. Any idea on how to fix this?

Maybe I didn’t explain myself correctly! Say, you have 20 thumbnails. You put your mouse on #3. Before you can click, all the thumbnails shift to the left and now your mouse is on top of #10 or so. Now you have to scroll back to the left to find #3 to click on it. I can’t imagine that is how the system is supposed to function! If it is, how do I turn it off?

Each thumbnail has a specific coordinate so that the mouse is able to click each item without having to scroll. The coordinates of the mouse adjusts to match the coordinates of the thumbnail. If you “turn it off”, you’re not able to access elements outside of the viewport.

ok thanks and as for the 3d engine I found several sources on how to add one and since this and many of your templates are built using HTML5 it will work and be easy to add..So for a login I also saw a way to add one like in your HUD using a ajax plugin..I guess all I need to decide is weather to get this or the wordpress version..:)

Hi!
Purchased this a while ago .. It’s awesome and everything! Great job … Was wondering if it’s possible to ad a vimeo video in full screen, like the photographs .. Or if I can add vimeo video anywhere?

Hi, I have not yet purchase this but will do soon – It looks clean and only with useful features. I want to explore this html theme with my own code. I just wanted to know, are they comes with php code (as there in your demo) or just vanilla html ?

Hi Chris,
I am thinking about purchasing the HTML version of the Zoom theme. I just wanted to know if I could change any colors in the theme, if I wanted to?
Also, lots of my photographs are portrait mode, not landscape, how will they show up in the bottom thumbnail-bar? Does that theme come with some kind of manual, so I would know the dimensions of pictures, configuration of forms etc?
Thank you,
Frank

1. You can easily control the link colors via the theme options panel. Everything else can be adjusted via CSS and/or the supplied PSD file.

2. Since most screen resolutions are 16:9, if you have a non 16:9 image the image will zoom in to fit the screen size. To address this, some users convert their portrait images to 16:9 by adding black bars on the sides.

Great theme. Very elegant and clean. I’d like to confirm three of things before buying, if I may.

1) Is there a way to DEFAULT the images to zoom-out (so you see the entire image)
2) Can I change the fonts to my liking, and can I modify the color of the ”+” on the right so that it is slightly more visible?
3) Does the theme provide an easy way to simply show highlight a thumbnail after clicking on it, rather than showing text (with link)
4) I’m an architectural photographer. When I create the site I’d like to include credit for the photography on the site as well as “Producing” the Website. The DESIGN credit of course remains with you. Is this acceptable? If not, what words would better meet your requirements?

It’s a fantastic design but unfortunately, I really want to use it as a gallery rather than as a launch-point to other pages. Can one just leave the thumbnail text blank and if so what is the appearance of the thumbnail in this case? Is the thumbnail just black or at all visible underneath it? Thanks again for your reply! I’ve looked at many of your designs and you have a great aesthetic.

This template is still def supported. I have 20+ templates on here that I’m actively supporting, but there are varying degrees of priority when it comes to issues related to demo sites (vs the actual theme itself).

Hello Christopher,
I hope you and yours had a wonderful vacation and thank you for your reply. I think we have decided to use your work, really like the design and we fell you’ll be there should we ever need you. Best, Gary M.
